Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for joining two metal members together. The process comprises the steps of providing two parent metal members to be joined and a prealloyed interlayer foil having a melting point depressant; creating a joint interface by positioning the foil between two spaced apart surfaces of the two parent metal members to be joined together; applying a load substantially transverse to the joint interface which does not cause deformation of the surfaces; and applying localized rapid heating in the area of the joint interface at a temperature sufficient to effect bonding of the two metallic members while causing little or no degradation of microstructural or mechanical properties of the parent metal and a coarsening of grain size in rim portions of the metal members.

Abstract: Process for the production of a composite sheet (90) comprising a cellular core (41) and at least one outer layer (42) by bonding the outer layer (42) to the cellular core (41), for example with the aid of an adhesive film (84) under pressure and at elevated temperature, where the adhesive film (84) may initially extend over the entire surface and breaks up in the region of the honeycomb interior under the action of heat and on exposure to a gaseous medium, concentrating at the points of contact between the cellular core (41) and the outer layer (42).

Abstract: The invention relates to a central electric system for a motor vehicle, having at least two pressed screens arranged parallel to one another with a distance between them, said pressed screens having web conductors formed by punching. For simple manufacture of the central electric system, the disclosure proposes that each pressed screens be extrusion coated with a holding frame of plastic; then the web conductors that are connected to one another at separation points are separated from one another; terminal contacts are bent at a right angle so they project away; the holding frames are assembled, and bent sections of web conductors of a pressed screen, cropped as web conductor connectors, are electrically connected to web conductors of another pressed screen e.g., by ultrasonic welding. The disclosure makes it possible to manufacture central electric systems with complex wiring and cabling with a few pressed screens by a simple method.

Abstract: Ultra-fine-grained thermoplastics such as polyolefins, for example, having an average particle size D.sub.50 of less than 400 .mu.m and are present in a mixture along with a filler where the amount of filler material in the mixture amounts to 40 to 90% with respect to the mixture. As such ultra-fine-grained thermoplastics cannot be obtained by means of the normal milling process of if so then only with considerable expenditure, the process for manufacturing ultra-fine-grained thermoplastics is performed in such a manner that a mixture containing 10 to 60 wt. % thermoplastics with respect to the mixture and 40 to 90 wt. % filler material with respect to the mixture is ground e.g. in an impact pulverizer, as a result of which thermoplastic particles with an average particle size D.sub.50 less than 400 .mu.m are produced.
